Hotel Taj Mahal


Taj Mahal Hotel has nothing to do with the Taj Group of Hotels or any of the establishments run by Indian Hotels. It is an unpretentious vegetarian hotel offering boarding and lodging, run by Nadimane Hotels Private Limited. It has an air-conditioned multi-cuisine restaurant on the main road, a snack outlet next door and two family restaurants at the back of the hotel, one for meals and other for snacks.

The hotel has been a very popular place for many years down the line. It has also tried to keep up to date with the times, not only with refurbishing, but also through the very nature of its food and service. The multi-cuisine restaurant now serves Chinese food and Pizzas too — all strictly vegetarian, of course. Forty years ago, this was absolutely unthinkable!

Taj Mahal is very much a budget hotel. It has 45 rooms of six different kinds, from single rooms for Rs 200 to double delux air-conditioned suites for Rs 750. Every room has a telephone and a TV. Check-in and check-out is on the 24-hour plan.

As the hotel is situated in the very heart of Secunderabad, it is within striking distance of major commercial and shopping centers. It is also conventionally close to the Rajiv Gandhi Airport and the Secunderabad railway station. There is a travel desk in the hotel. Arrangements can also be made for car rentals.

There is a nice homely air about Taj Mahal. It is a popular shopping place for families on holiday and business travelers who prefer south Indian vegetarian hospitality to everything else. Vijay K Setty, the General Manager, tells me that his establishment is proud to play host to guests who opt for a reputable economy hotel for their stay in Secunderabad.

Taj Mahal Hotel is sited on one of the main thoroughfares of the twin cities. Taxis and auto-rickshaws should have no difficulty in transporting you to the place from airport or railway station.
